Patience for Today

May 14, 2023 • Brent Freeman • James 5:7–10, James 5:19–20, Proverbs 14:29, Psalm 37:7, Proverbs 22:24–25

What is it that makes you loose your patience the fastest?  Let’s face it.  Impatience permeates our entire persona. We all know the high price tag of impatience because we have been wounded by the impatience of others and we also have hurt others with our impatience. We have seen the damage professionally. We have seen the damage relationally. We have even felt the damage spiritually.

Elephant of Pride

May 7, 2023 • Brent Freeman • Isaiah 57:15, James 4:1–10, Proverbs 13:10, Psalm 101:5, Proverbs 18:12

The phrase "Elephant in the room" means a major problem or controversial issue that is obviously present but avoided as a subject for discussion. Today we are a people of pride, James 4 warns us about this sin and the downfall it can bring.

Power Of Words

April 30, 2023 • Brent Freeman • James 3:2, James 3:3–10, Matthew 12:34, Psalm 19:14

If you want to know the direction your life is moving, look at your conversations. In James 3 we are taught that words are powerful, they can build people up or tear them down.

Compassion

April 19, 2023

Jesus was moved with compassion to help others. When given the opportunity to help someone do we jump at the chance to do it? Or do we find reasons not to?

Love Others

April 23, 2023 • Keith Thornton

We don't always have to have the "right" words in order to show Jesus to someone. We can show Jesus simply by our actions and choosing to love someone even when it is hard.

Pressure

April 16, 2023 • Brent Freeman • James 1:2–22, Proverbs 4:14–15

A trial is not the same thing as a temptation. Both temptations and trials are difficult, but a temptation is brought on by either Satan or our sinful hearts, while a trial is allowed by God in order to refine us and to make us more like Jesus. A faith that can't be tested is a faith that can't be trusted.
